AirZounding Bikers
Had to AirZound a rider, yet again today. I think I've used this more on bike riders than autos, and it is always the same pattern.
Rider today was on the narrow MUP on a cruiser riding toward me in my lane, his dog on a leash was heading toward me in their lane. The rider is looking straight down trying to count his spokes as they went by.
At about 50 feet I start going ding, ding, ding, ding, trying to be polite, and he does not look up. At 30 feet I give him the AirZound and he moves over.
It always is cruisers riding the wrong way and not looking ahead.

I've been meeting a lot of wrong way cyclists lately, maybe gas prices have put alot of people on the road who haven't ridden in while on the road. Maybe I need one of those big horns.
